Class HoconBraces


public class HoconBraces extends Hocon
A Hocon variant that produces readable HOCON output with the root braces retained (the Hocon.DEFAULT form omits them).

This is the first-class facade form of the root-braces HOCON variant. It pairs HoconSerializer.DEFAULT_BRACES with HoconParser.DEFAULT and exposes the full static shortcut surface bound to its own DEFAULT instance.

Examples:

// Using static shortcuts. String hocon = HoconBraces.of(myPojo); MyPojo myPojo = HoconBraces.to(hocon, MyPojo.class);

Notes:
  • Because Java hides (does not override) static members, this class redeclares the entire static shortcut surface of Hocon so that every shortcut is bound to this class's root-braces DEFAULT rather than the Hocon.DEFAULT.
